Novel fuel cell catalyst lowers need for precious metal
25-Nov-2010
Fuel cells could create a breakthrough for electric cars, because refuelling them is fast and easy, just like your traditional gas guzzler. But there's an obstacle. Current fuel cells need platinum in order to work. And that's expensive. Now chemists from Copenhagen, Potsdam and Hanau have taken ...
New ultra-clean nanowires have great potential
15-Nov-2010
New ultra-clean nanowires produced at the Nano-Science Center, University of Copenhagen will have a central role in the development of new high-efficiency solar cells and electronics on a nanometer scale. PhD student Peter Krogstrup, Niels Bohr Institute, in collaboration with a number of ...
Carbon sequestration: Boon or burden
30-Jun-2010
The idea to sequester carbon is gaining support as a way to avoid global warming. For example, the European Union plans to invest billions of Euros within the next ten years to develop carbon capture and storage whereby CO2 will be extracted at power plants and other combustion sites and stored ...
New artificial enzyme safer for nature
Custom built enzyme to replace harsh and hazardous chemicals
27-Oct-2009
Perilous and polluting industrial processes can be made safer with enzymes. But only a short range of enzymes have been available for the chemical industry. Recently a group of researchers at The Department of Chemistry at University of Copenhagen succeeded in producing an artificial enzyme that ...
New material for nanoscale computer chips
19-Aug-2009
Nanochemists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Nano-Science Center, Department of Chemistry at University of Copenhagen have developed nanoscale electric contacts out of organic and inorganic nanowires. In the contact they have crossed the wires like Mikado sticks and coupled several ...
The greenhouse gas that saved the world
Chemistry researchers uncover why the archean world was not frozen solid
19-Aug-2009
When Planet Earth was just cooling down from its fiery creation, the sun was faint and young. So faint that it should not have been able to keep the oceans of earth from freezing. But fortunately for the creation of life, water was kept liquid on our young planet. For years scientists have ...
New Danish research shows how oil gets stuck underground
Nano-research on drill cores from the North Sea might help increase extraction rates of oil in Denmark
13-May-2009
Now, new Danish research may have come up with an explanation as to where and how North Sea oil clings to underground rocks. This explanation could turn out to be the first step on the way to developing improved oil production techniques with the intent of increasing oil production from Danish ...
